English as a Second Language for Teachers

The rewards of being an ESL teacher are as varied as the students who enroll in your class.

Satisfy state certification requirements; then apply the credits you've earned toward an advanced degree. Penn State’s five-course, 15-credit program was designed to help you meet the state’s certification requirements for ESL teachers. And you can also apply these earned credits toward Penn State’s master’s degree in teaching English as a second language. By completing this program, you’ll enhance your teaching credentials as you help ESL students to improve their English language skills.    

Who Should Attend

This program is for teachers who hold a Pennsylvania Instructional I or Instructional II certificate and desire to obtain ESL Program Specialist designation, or who wish to take selected courses for professional development in language acquisition skills.
